Disposable grease absorbing mitt

Abstract

A disposable grease absorbing device has a pad of grease absorbent material. A sheet of liquid-impervious material is affixed to the grease absorbent material and covers one of the surfaces thereof. A sheet of wrapping material larger than approximately half the area of a surface of the pad is affixed next-adjacent the liquid-impervious material to form a main pocket and is folded over on itself to form an inner pocket. After use, when the grease absorbent material is saturated with grease, it is foldable in a manner whereby the wrapping material restrains it in folded condition with the liquid-impervious material on the outside, so that the grease does not contact or stain anything other than the pad.

I claim: 
     
       1. A disposable grease absorbing device, comprising a pad of grease absorbent material having a pair of spaced opposite surfaces and a bordering edge therearound;   a sheet of liquid-impervious material affixed to the grease absorbent material and covering one of the surfaces thereof;   a sheet of wrapping material larger than approximately half the area of a surface of the pad affixed to approximately half the bordering edge and next-adjacent the liquid-impervious material to form a main pocket leaving an unattached rear portion, said unattached portion being folded over on itself to form a flap having a free line and a strip extending across the liquid-impervious material along the free line of the wrapping material between said liquid-impervious material and the attached portion, said flap being affixed at its ends to the liquid-impervious material along the bordering edge of said liquid-impervious material thereby forming an inner pocket opening into the main pocket formed by the wrapping material and the liquid-impervious material, whereby when placed in grease the grease absorbent material of the device absorbs the grease and the device is then disposable with complete constraint of the grease by folding the pad in half over on itself with half the grease absorbent material abutting the other half thereof, then twisting the main pocket so that it covers the half of the liquid-impervious material previously uncovered thereby and the inner pocket is on the outside and spaced from the liquid-impervious material by said wrapping material at the foldover line of the liquid-impervious material, and then twisting the inner pocket so that it covers a strip of liquid-impervious material along said foldover line and restrains the device in folded condition.   
     
     
       2. A disposable grease absorbing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the grease-absorbent material and the liquid-impervious material is of disc-like configuration and the wrapping material is of semi-disc-like configuration.
